Reminder: Republicans Are Locked & Loaded

Democrats’ 2020 down-ballot disappointments are already coming back to haunt them.

Despite President Joe Biden carrying New Hampshire in a runaway, Republicans surged in other races to flip both chambers of the state legislature. Now, the Granite State GOP is openly plotting the ouster of Rep. Chris Pappas (D-N.H.), experimenting with new maps that pack his district with red towns and shove blue pockets into the seat next door.

Dear God, This Is Disturbing About The Secret Service and Obama. SS Has KKK In It?

JIM AXELROD: From 2009 to 2014, Wackrow served on the details protecting President and Mrs. Obama, which gives him insight into another problem plaguing the Secret Service that more money can't address. A culture lacking transparency and accountability. On November 11, 2011 a man fired a rifle at the White House, striking the building seven times. The Obamas weren't home, but their daughters were. Despite agents reporting gunfire, Leonnig writes they were told by superiors to stand down. Secret Service leadership initially told no one, not their agents, not the public, not even President and Mrs. Obama.

JONATHAN WACKROW: Thankfully, didn't have a tragic outcome. But afterwards, nothing. There was no, hey, let's get everybody together and let's review what happened.
